Mouse Scroll Wheel

We just posted some changes to the way the mouse scroll wheel works (due to user request) - BW9 only. There is not room in the updater to describe the changes so I will put it here:

1. The scroll wheel messages are now sent to the window under the mouse. Before you had to activate a window by clicking on it before the scroll wheel was functional.
2. In Browse and Search panes the CTRL and SHIFT keys are used to add functionality. In the Browse Window id CTRL is pressed the wheel advances the verse in the hit results window. If CTRL + SHIFT is pressed it advances to the next verse in the version.

OUTSTANDING!
Maybe someone else had made the request earlier, but I submitted a request for CTRL + mouse window functionality for advancing verses in the Browse Window just two days ago. Not only do they do that but make an associated function w/ the Search Window that is also tremendously helpful.
Way to go, BW!

Clarification

A little clarification on the way it works: When the mouse cursor is over a window and the wheel is scrolled, the scroll message is sent to the window under the mouse cursor. The window under the cursor is responsible for handling the message. We did not modify the message handling routines anywhere except the Browse and Search windows, so all other windows should work the same as they did when you gave the window focus by clicking and then scrolling. In the case of the editor and notes windows, these are subclassed from the Windows Rich Text routines, the same ones used in WordPad, so Microsoft controls the behavior. We can override Microsoft if we need to but that has not been done. This is just a first cut. We will gather suggestions and tweak the behavior as necessary.
